Terrier / Mixed (short coat) : : Female : : Adult : : Small
Name: Carmel I'm a total snuggle bug and I love to give licks to show my appreciation and love. I love nothing more than to be curled up next to you on the couch, on floor or on a bed - under a blanket preferably since I'm still not very used to this cold weather! I am still trying to figure out television, I don't understand how it works and that confuses me and gets me excited, but I am slowing getting use to it. I do love it though when I am read too, it calms me down and then I get to snuggle.
I surprised my foster parents, when they learned that with treats, I can sit, shake hands, lay down, and will go to my bed to rest or my kennal immediately on command. I am very smart and if you are willing, would love to learn more tricks as well. Love and patience can go along way with me.
My foster parents say I'm do a great job of sleeping quietly in my kennel at night and when they're at work. I don't complain or cry as long as my cozy bed is there for me to sleep in.
I'm getting great at remembering to do my "business" outside in the yard before and after I am kenneled and after you get home, but still need your attention, love and patience every day.
I LOVE trying to chase squirrels and bunnies so I either need a very well fenced yard or a lead in the yard like my foster parents have. I haven't met any cats yet but I bet I'd try to chase them too...
I love going on walks and am getting better at not forging the way by tugging. My foster parents took me to an active dog park and I did a great job walking around and meeting other pups with their parents.
From SHH:
Cheerio has had a history of anxiety. Because of this, she is on trazadone as needed. In the last month she has needed this 3 times to settle down. Also, she previously had an allergy issue on her belly and was on apoquel for this. 3 weeks ago that was discontinued and the allergy has not re-emerged. It could be environmental or seasonal, but we want to fully disclose that it could happen again.
